Subject: RE: 1BR. Marina Terrace

Thank you for the interest showed for my apartment. For better knowledge of my property, along with the pictures, please note that the apartment resides in Marina Terrace Tower - Dubai Marina, its approximate surface is of square feet 1050 and has 1 living room, 1+1 bathrooms, 1 bedroom and 1 kitchen. Both of us will establish from the beginning the rental period, which can be anywhere between 3 and 36 months.

The kind of tenant I am looking for must be above all very responsible and preferably dynamic and communicative. The monthly rent is AED5650 which does not include utilities. You also have one parking space reserved for your use. You can rent my apartment for you alone or for you and your family or friend.

The reason for which I am renting my apartment is that I had to work in another country, which is Wales, for 6 months initially (I'm working in the renewable energy field), but now I learned that my job will continue for at least 36 more months in the current location. I have already made permanent living arrangements here for me and my family, therefore we decided to put our apartment in Dubai up for rent. To this purpose, I entrusted property-daily.com, which is a well known portal for rentals in Wales and also manages overseas transactions, with the ownership contract, the access keys into my apartment, the tenancy contract and the insurance deposit. I have already paid all fees, so you won't have to pay anything extra.

If this is of interest to you, please contact me as soon as possible to manage all the rest of the details.

While waiting for your response, please receive my highest consideration,

Your reply is well received. Thank you for the description about yourself, I really appreciate it. Please note that the chiller and community fees are included in the rent. After you move in, you will pay the rent on a monthly basis directly to my bank account. I'm renting my apartment fully furnished and equipped as you can see in photos, but if you have your own furniture, then I can make arrangements for some of mine to be stored somewhere else. Also, if you wish to change some of the appliances, it's fine by me. As you correctly noted, the building has its own shared pool and gym. Along with the apartment, you will also have two entry passes for the facilities. And I apologize, but I don't have any photos of them at hand.

Regarding the rental process, please note that in order for you to move into the apartment, property-daily.com will send you a package containing the keys of the apartment and the tenancy contract. For this to happen, please provide me with your complete name and the address where you wish to receive the package. I will forward these details to property-daily.com and they will make contact. You will receive instructions to deposit an amount of AED5650 into their account. Property-daily.com will send you the package in 24 hours after confirmation of your payment. Starting from the day you receive the package you will have 7 days to inspect the apartment and see how you accommodate. You will be ensured because the money will remain in property-daily.com custody, until you inspect the apartment and declare yourself pleased.

After you decide to move in, property-daily.com will grant me access to the deposit you have made with them, and this way your deposit will become the payment for the first month of rent. I will also be ensured because property-daily.com will keep the money in their account until you move in. If, for whatever reason, you decide not to rent the apartment, you simply send back the keys and tenancy contract to property-daily.com and ask for a refund, but I know that this won't happen because you will love it.

So, if this is okay with you and you are determined to rent my apartment, then please send me your complete name and address, so I can forward your details to property-daily.com and they will start the formalities immediately.

I wish you all the best and I'll be waiting for your answer.

This person asks for a deposit payment via Western Union, MoneyGram, pre-paid credit card or bank transfer with a promise that you can have the keys to a property that does not belong to him.

Sounds safe. It's not!

At other times, he will ask for proof that you are able to pay the deposit and rent due to a string of time wasters.
This proof is in the form of a Western Union or MoneyGram payment to a lawyer,a friend or family member.

In either case, if payment is made and you give this person the details, they will collect the money.
You will not hear from them again.

All the details such as names, addresses, pictures etc. that the scammer uses in order to back up his story, are stolen from elsewhere.

If you are reading this because you are looking for property to rent, and you are in contact with this thief you are probably searching Craigslist, Gumtree or similar listing sites. If you receive any requests from 'Landlords' asking for some kind of payment before viewing, then it will also be a scam. Please forward the mail to me at the address in my signature line and I will investigate and list them if necessary.
